- (continued from previous page)Within sight of this fort are two others.
One north, west in Mr Chawke's farm.
The other South, in Mr Bennets farm.
The former was levelled for tillage some years ago. The man who levelled it was attacked and severely injured by a bull belonging to Mr Chawke, some time after levelling the fort.
He did not die of the injury however but after the accident he was never very well. He died about two years ago.The fort to the south still stands. It is a small fort circular in shape, and surrounded by trees.When members of certain families are dying it is said that the Banshee's wail is heard going from Fort to Fort.
